Hanlon’s Razor says otherwise. I’m going to guess this was because of cut corners. Not someone trying to sabotage an entire line of aircraft.
I think he means an executive was actively cutting corners.
This is indeed what I meant. I don’t think that someone was actively trying to make the plane unsafe, but in the eternal quest for more profit engineers, best practices and safety reports where ignored to make the plane as cheap as possible, resulting in the current
flyinggrounded deathtrap.Okay yeah. In that case I agree. I think that still falls more on the side of stupidity than malice, but the line between the two gets blurry when greed is involved
If being stupid means killing almost 400 people and endangering thousands, I think it is fair to say that it is not any better than being malicious, also it would be stupid if they didn’t realize the potential flaws, but the fact is they overlooked it, which is not malice, fair enough, but it is definitely a terrible thing to do, far worse than being ‘stupid’
Absolutely. Hence my original call for a criminal investigation to see if they indeed accepted the risks knowingly as then they should be held accountable.
Like I think all upper management of big oil that knew what they where doing to the planet should be tried in the Hague for Crimes against humanity. I don’t care if they are old and long retired, concentration camp guards are also still tried after all these years.
Hot take: if cutting corners to an entire line of aircraft and sabotaging an entire line of aircraft produce the same results then they deserve the same punishment.
The world would be a lot better place if we let the penny pinchers be at fault for the dangerous situations they keep causing.
Man, imagine how much better the world would be if accountants would face consequences when their decision was to blame?
Or execs.
